After Kaito Kid was exposed, seeing the clothes he was wearing that were exactly the same as Ran's, Conan and Kogoro Mouri had a terrifying thought: Ran might be...

Realizing this, the two quickly ran out and split up to search for where Xiaolan had been hidden.

Upon realizing that Ran was indeed in disguise, Sonoko Suzuki blushed deeply. She knew she had wronged her, so she quickly ran to Rinko Akiyama, bowed deeply, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, sister. I apologize for what I said earlier. I shouldn't have scolded you. Thank you for exposing Kaito Kid. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark."

Hyuga Genmi Sonoko actually apologized to Akiyama Rinko, which made me feel a little better towards her. This girl can be sensible after all, even though she always bullied me in my memories.

Every time I hung out with other girls, this guy would bully me in all sorts of ways, to the point that I was afraid to see her anymore. Now that I think about it, maybe...?

After clearing his mind, Hinata Gen looked at Kaito Kid being taken away by the police. This matter should be over for now. He missed Nanao Akane, whom he hadn't played with all day.

Or perhaps with Miwako Sato?

Thinking about Sato Miwako's strange running posture just now, and knowing that it was influenced by his own ability, Hyuga Gen couldn't help but feel a little tempted. A female investigator, huh?

At that moment, Tomoko Suzuki walked over gracefully, a charming smile playing on her lips, and spoke kindly to Gen Hyuga:

"Yuan, don't go back tonight. Come visit us at our house now."

"Then I'll be troubling you and Uncle Suzuki tonight."

Hinata Gen couldn't refuse after hearing this, so he had to give up his previous plan. He glanced regretfully at Sato Miwako, who had just come out of the bathroom and was unaware that Kaito Kid had been arrested.

After changing her underwear, Sato Miwako felt guilty and turned her head away when she saw Hinata Gen's gaze. She couldn't help but think of Matsuda Jinpei, but for some reason, she didn't feel the same pain as before.

Sato Miwako managed a weak smile. The person she loved had sent her a message confessing his love before he died in the line of duty. His sacrifice had plunged her into long-term emotional anguish. Now, she wondered if it was really worth it.

After replying, Hyuga Gen said to Mingming beside him:

"Mingming, could you help me get Investigator Sato's contact information? I'd like to invite her to dinner to thank her."

Mingming, who had been relatively inconspicuous, glanced at Akiyama Rinko next to Hinata Gen, nodded, and then walked towards Sato Miwako, who was deep in thought.

Rinko Akiyama secretly rolled her eyes at Gen Hyuga, but said nothing.

After receiving a reply from Hyuga Gen, Suzuki Tomoko was clearly very happy.

"Alright, alright, I'll call home right away and have them make arrangements. What would you like to eat? I'll have the servants prepare it in advance. Something happened today, so I'm sure you didn't eat enough."

Hyuga Gen nodded, confirming that he hadn't eaten much that evening, only drinking a few glasses of red wine.

"Auntie Pengzi, you can arrange it as you see fit."

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a violent explosion occurred not far from the port, causing the Elizabeth, which was docked in the port, to feel a considerable tremor.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Why are there so many things happening at this banquet today?"

"Exactly, I hope there won't be any assassination attempts involved."

The guests present were somewhat frightened upon hearing the word "assassination."

Tomoko Suzuki immediately dispatched her bodyguards, then picked up the microphone and said:

"Don't panic, everyone. I've already sent people to investigate, and I believe we'll have news soon."

On the other side, several police cars transporting Phantom Thief Kid were already ablaze and parked on the roadside. Inspector Nakamori and Inspector Chaki both had extremely grim expressions.

Their police car inexplicably caught fire and exploded. Fortunately, no one was injured, otherwise the situation would have been much more serious.

The most troublesome thing is that the Phantom Thief Kid, whom we finally caught, has disappeared. It seems that this guy has accomplices, and the face under that mask is obviously not the real Phantom Thief Kid.

Since there was no special medicine available at the scene, they planned to take the person back to the Metropolitan Police Department to see their true face, but now the person has been kidnapped.

The two could already imagine being labeled as incompetent when they returned.

On the rooftop of an abandoned building, Kaito Kid, aka Kuroba Kaito, sat sprawled on the ground, looking utterly disheveled, and gave the girl in front of him a wry smile.

"Hongzi, thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been exposed."

Koizumi Akako gave him a somewhat arrogant look and said:

"I told you today's operation was destined to fail. Why couldn't you just listen to me? If it weren't for me, hmph, you'd be on tomorrow's headlines. How heartbroken Aoko would be if she saw that."

Kaito Kuroba then thought of Gen Hyuga, who was impersonating him at the venue, and that it was his guards who had captured him. It seemed that he had been exposed to him from the very beginning.

But why is that? He clearly didn't give anything away, so why did he immediately assume that he was impersonating Xiaolan?

"It's too late to say anything now. I can't just send out the notice and then not show up. That would be too embarrassing."

"Honestly, you..."

..

Soon, the crew on the Elizabeth received the news that Phantom Thief Kid had escaped, and they were relieved that a thief had gotten away so easily.

Soon, the remaining people said goodbye to Suzuki Tomoko one by one. After watching the farce, the butler was also preparing to go home, but Suzuki Tomoko stopped him just as he was about to leave.

"Uncle Griffith, why don't you come to our house for dinner? It's been a long time since you've been here either."

"I won't be going. The conglomerate has important matters to attend to. During the day, an employee of a subsidiary caused considerable losses to the conglomerate, and I need to go back and deal with it. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tomoko."

Hearing that the butler had important business to attend to, Suzuki Tomoko couldn't insist that he stay. She personally saw the butler off before coming to Hinata Gen's side.

On the other side, Sonoko Suzuki looked at Ran, who had just been found by Conan and was still a little dizzy, with a worried expression. After seeing that Ran was alright, she said goodbye to the three of them.

By this time, most of the passengers on the ship had left. Seeing that the matter was resolved, Suzuki Tomoko extended her right hand toward Hyugahara.

"Yuan, take off that black star from your body and give it back to me. The one on your body is the real black star."

Hearing that what was on him was the real one, Hyuga Gen was somewhat surprised. Wasn't the original one on Suzuki Tomoko? He had thought that was the real one after he found the stolen item on Kaito Kid.

Without hesitation, he immediately took off the Black Star from his body and handed it to Tomoko Suzuki.

What others didn't notice was that the moment their hands touched, Tomoko Suzuki suddenly trembled almost imperceptibly.

(Brothers who are releasing it tomorrow, remember to check it out early. I don't know when it will be released. The sooner you check it out, the sooner you'll get it. If you check it out later, it will be a revised version. I've tried to be as subtle as possible. Sigh.)
